Five men were seriously injured when
a light motor vehicle collided with a truck on the R33 in New Hanover,
KwaZulu-Natal this morning.

ER24 Spokesperson Luyanda Majija said when paramedics arrived on scene they
found the vehicle stuck beneath the truck with one of the men trapped in the
vehicle. His fellow occupants were lying on the road.

Majija said paramedics requested the assistance of a crane from a nearby farmer
to lift the truck off the vehicle. When fire department personnel arrived on
scene they removed the man from the wreck using jaws-of-life equipment.

She added that treatment of the patients ensued immediately after which they
were transported to NorthdaleHospital for
further medical care.
